ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed in which a chloroorganic compound is decomposed by means of a microorganism. The relevant microorganisms are induced to do so by contact with an aromatic compound which may be extracted from a plant containing lignocellulose or may be p-coumaric acid. It is believed that these compounds stimulate the microorganism to express oxygenase, and that the presence of oxygenase in the microroganism enables it to decompose the chlororoganic compound.
